New York, 1929: the height of prohibition. Gangs fall like bloody dominos as the mysterious Dragonmir family fights to rule the city and begin to wake the Old One - a gigantic sleeping vampire buried amongst the roots of their mansion. But an unlikely alliance formed between tough guy Eddie Falco and a stranded space-alien known as Squeed leads to an uneasy stalemate. Meanwhile, a strong-willed young reporter, dirty cops and ousted Harlem racketeers all try to survive in the middle of the maelstrom, and it''s anyone''s guess who''s going to win the battle for this particular slice of turf.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"TURF is an audacious story excellently told that makes the most of the comics medium - in this case the art of Tommy Lee Edwards, a man up to the demands of gangster-vampire-alien-what-the-hell that Ross's tale demands." --Neil Gaiman

""Ross's writing here is a revelation..." --comicbuzz.com

"Edwards' art is luscious as he perfectly plants you right in the middle of Prohibition-era New York City." --Newsarama

"gorgeous" --Techland / Time Magazine

From the Back Cover

"Turf is unlike anything you've ever seen.  A magnificent 5-course meal served in a single platter.  Ruthless Gangsters, Leaping Vampires, Biomechanical Aliens all converge in a Turf war of Cosmic scope.  It's not surprising to see a multicultural collision like this come out of Mr Ross and Mr Edwards' brains, what is shocking is that it works so well. Fast-paced, efficiently told and quite addictive!!"
